About this map

Hanks Trading Post serves as a lone commercial outpost along the highway in this high-desert landscape of Coconino County. The northeastern portion of the map is defined by the boundary of Wupatki National Monument, where the terrain transitions toward the vast open stretches of Deadman Flat. A network of unpaved forest service roads and tracks, such as the Tuba City Road, crisscross the area, reflecting the seasonal movement and ranching history of the region.

Water management is critical in this arid environment, evidenced by the numerous named catchments distributed across the drainage of Hulls Wash. Notable water points include Lava Tank, Juniper Trick Tank, and Lone Tree Tank, each situated to capture runoff from features like Red Hill. These tanks and the named washes provide a detailed look at the rural infrastructure required to sustain life and livestock in the Arizona desert before the modern era.
